Pregnancy weakens the view?

The effect of circulating hormones and changes in the "internal" (tendency to retention of fluids and salts), increases the volume of the eyeball. This changes the distance between the lens and retina and, usually, accentuates myopias.

It should be noted that these changes are only temporary and that, after birth, sight returns to its previous levels. It is therefore important that all pregnant women carry out a control eye during the first quarter.
